Command Analysis

Cloud9

Current form
Cloud9 were considered a "dark" horse before the tournament, since it was unclear what could be expected from them. Before that, they demonstrated unstable play and often failed at major events. Now it is clear that the team has prepared well for The International and is ready to please fans with quality Dota. Let us recall that in three previous meetings out of four, "Cloud" celebrated success. They managed to deal with G2.IG (2:0), Talon (2:0), and also beat 1WIN. They earned the only draw in the confrontation with Tundra.

Aurora

Current form
Aurora arrived at this tournament as one of the underdogs. At the championship, it started with two defeats from Liquid and Spirit, but rehabilitated itself in the match with beastcoast (2:0). By the way, in the playoff match with Zero, the team also won with a score of 2:1. The last map against the "zeros" turned out to be incredibly tense and lasted more than an hour, but Aurora still found the resources to finish off the opponent. It is worth noting that Aurora often resorts to the pick of Storm Spirit or Puck and tries to choose active heroes on the mid.

1.66Tip and bets
Cloud9 have finished most of their previous matches at the tournament with a score of 2:0 in their favor. Clouds have gained great momentum and are beating opponent after opponent. Aurora's victories were not so easy, and their level of play is clearly inferior to their counterpart. It is quite logical that C9 are the favorites of the confrontation. If they do not make a mistake in the draft, they will be able to "close" the opponent on both maps.
Betting Tip - C9 win with handicap (-1.5) on cards for 2.15
